Tommy saw the photo when he got home and said, "Oh this is perfect mom. Now he can drink his bubba alone and you can spend the time with me". :)

Look mom! Both hands!!
Went for a walk with a friend the other day with our little people and Grant decided to show off a new trick! I had to stop to snap a photo. So proud!

Fever Central
It's official! School has started. And with it...all the lovely viruses and colds that little kids feel so obligated to share with each other.
Yesterday, Tommy started acting a little off...and sure enough...by the time I got them home, he was running a high temp. Ever since his seizure, high fevers make me nervous. So into the tub he went. Even with a cold bath, tylenol and one sponge bath, he never got below 100. His highest temp spike was at 4am when he went up to 103.5. Thank goodness I was awake and checked on him. Those fevers just take over his little body so quickly. He'll go from 101 to 103 in the blink of an eye. (And that is when we have to worry about seizures.)
And so it has gone on...all night...all day today. Up and down. When he wasn't running a temp, he was bouncing off walls, wrestling and carrying on as usual. Then...this afternoon...Cole curled into a ball. Sure enough? High temps. But like Tommy...once it's under control...he was back to his crazy, silly self.
It's a rainy day here in Boston - and as a friend pointed out - it was the perfect day to stay in jammies. And that's what we did. I spent the day with one little superman, one spiderman and one power ranger. We had no where to go and it was heavenly. Now...time to get better!

Dear Family...
I think the best part about being a mom has been watching the way my boys love our family. And on the flip side...seeing how much my boys are loved. Cole, Tommy and Grant have a HUGE family around them. (And of course, our definition of family extends to include our beautiful friends.)
The fact that my boys know you all by name...that they REQUEST to have family gatherings...ask me (on a regular basis) when we are having another party...and then suggest (like today) that we go to Grandma's this weekend because they miss her. It just makes my heart swell.
I just wanted you all to know how much you mean to the boys. How often they refer to you each by name. Every day...I get to experience these beautiful moments when the boys reflect on your impact on their life.
So...as their mom...and because I love you all so much...I just wanted to say THANK YOU. You each have made such a lasting impact on my little men. And your influence will shape the men they will eventually become. Again...my heart swells...we are so lucky!!
